    @whitequark in .au they’re called “pressure over release valve” and found on tank storage style hot water systems to prevent the tank turning into a pressure vessel due to over-heating. Completely passive device, just works on pressure differential, and available in wide range of activation pressures.

    If you do this, you’ll need a different interlock to stop the pump from running if the reservoir runs dry (which you probably should add anyway)

    @whitequark oh, and for quality of life, you want a pair of series stop valves with a quick-disconnect in between them between the jacket and the refrigeration system, and put the pair on both the supply and return lines. Close both valves, disconnect, almost zero coolant comes out.
